  • Next year?

    When does the new growing year start for you?

    For me it's October- when I will shop for over wintering onions and garlic.

        yes, its cyclical really. I am saving pea and broad bean seed now for next year, and my second crop/flush of Limnanthes are coming on. But everything stops over winter and starts again (for me) around 21st March.

        Does anyone else feel a bit sad at this time of year, when (nearly) everything is in the ground already, most of it has failed, and there's nothing but French beans to look forward to until March????

          I want to get some things in the ground to overwinter - just need to find out what I can plant and when ..... (and therefore when I need to buy it and sow it!)

            TS, kind of yes, that's why I've decided to grow some Spring Cabbage and just set some Yellow Chard. Kind of cheers me up.

            In addition, I could have planned better and have some free ground, hate to see it sat empty.

            I have also kept some Annabelle new pots tubers which I'm going to plant this week, in the hope of some xmas spuds.

            I suppose the start of the season is, as you say, when we all start sowing our seeds early next year.

                Two Sheds, I feel very sad because I don't even like runner beans.

                And when your back stops aching,
                And your hands begin to harden.
                You will find yourself a partner,
                In the glory of the garden.
